Demand Rates and Metering Equipment at Milwaukee
This article discusses the establishment of, and experiences with, demand rates at Milwaukee's Water Department. Over a period of years, the utility had acquired a large amount of information about the peak rates of flow to several suburbs. These peak rates were discussed with the Wisconsin Public Service Commission when commensurate rates were requested. The suburbs were not pleased with the utility's request, and thus the existing dissension over rates was intensified. A new approach to the problem in the form of a demand rate was proposed. This rate took into account the peak rate of flow drawn from the utility system by the customer. Essentially, the rate has two parts, a commodity charge and an extra‐capacity charge. Equipment such as water meters, and rates on air‐conditioning are discussed.
